The chef claimed he should be treated as an individual, rather than part of a group, for receiving a share of customer tips. Ms Tiilikainen claimed the hotel was not required to change its policy on tips as staff were given all tips received in the hotel. Ms Tiilikainen said the hotel’s information notice for customers on tips, while “very brief”, complied with the requirements of legislation. However, she said the chef had raised important questions about the workings of the new legislation on tips. She said the legislation required more than a policy that “tips are divided by staff at the end of each shift”.
